minus-squareWIZARD POPE💫@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·17 hours agoNo. The fullness or emptiness depends on whether the last action was pouring water into or out of the jug.
minus-squarewhereisk@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·16 hours agoExactly - or the next action. The question “is the glass half full or empty” is a false dichotomy, the answer is: it is impossible to know without further info.
minus-squareWIZARD POPE💫@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·15 hours agoHow exactly does it depend on next action? Is it half full by that logic if next action would be to fill it up further?
minus-squarewhereisk@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·15 hours agoYes. If the next action is to add it’s half full, if to remove it’s half empty. If nothing then it depends on the previous actions.
